problem installing Wireshark on Leopard

I don't understand either, but this came up in the error log, and is  
what gave me the clue that I needed emacs:

----------------------
if test "emacs" != no; then \
	  set x; \
	  list='start-po.el po-mode.el po-compat.el'; for p in $list; do \
	    if test -f "$p"; then d=; else d="./"; fi; \
	    set x "$@" "$d$p"; shift; \
	  done; \
	  shift; \
	  EMACS="emacs" /bin/sh ../../build-aux/elisp-comp "$@" || exit 1; \
	else : ; fi
Fatal malloc_jumpstart() error
-----------------------

The Fatal malloc_jumpstart() error also happened if I gave the emacs  
command at the shell.

Anyway the end result is that wireshark starts.  I still have issues  
and will put them in a separate post if not solved.
